He says the retired nurses are based in the Central Division who will run community programs to advocate for lifestyle changes and better management of diabetes.

Kini further says they hope to replicate this initiative in the Western and Northern Divisions to offer wider outreach and provide much-needed mental health support for diabetes patients.

He adds that they are committed to ensuring the success of this program and making a real difference in the lives of Fijians living with or at risk of diabetes.
